NMAT Exam Details: What is Scaled Score & Percentile Score?

Scaled Scores: The NMAT exam will ask questions based on the candidate's ability in previous sections. If your performance is strong on the initial questions, you will receive more difficult questions than candidates who have not performed as well in these sections. However, the NMAT exam carefully considers all participants' scores on a common scale to remove any discrepancies associated with the different levels of difficulty of the NMAT exam. In short, this means that the NMAT targets the specific ability level of each test taker, transforming the final NMAT results into a common score range of 36-360.

Final Percentile Scores: The authorities calculate the NMAT 2024 final percentile scores when all the students have appeared for the exam. After the exam's conclusion, the students' NMAT results are sent to the B-Schools they selected, and the sent NMAT Results are revised with the final percentile score.
